Controlling Homocysteine Levels $BlogItemSubject"; $newslink[$countera]="http://www.medjournal.com/blog/archives/2002_12_01_nutritionarchive.php#90009519"; ?>
This study of 1139 women and 931 men (healthy French adults) concludes that for women, decreasing coffee and alcohol consumption may be the best way to lower homocysteine levels. For men, increasing physical activity, dietary fiber, and folate intake were the strongest predictors of a lower homocysteine level. Comment: vitamin supplementation probably is beneficial in both men and women in lowering homocysteine levels, although a statistically significant association was not found in the women.

Smaller Servings Lead to Fewer Calories $BlogItemSubject"; $newslink[$countera]="http://www.medjournal.com/blog/archives/2002_12_01_nutritionarchive.php#90009381"; ?>
This study looked at a group of 51 volunteers. The volunteers were allowed to eat as much as they wanted, but their initial serving size was varied. When the volunteers were presented with a large initial serving size, they ended up eating more than when presented with a small initial serving size (even though they could eat as much as they wanted). Comment: want to lose weight? Try serving yourself a smaller initial serving size of food when you sit down to eat. This is a good idea for families as well. When dishing up the meal, give everyone a small serving size initially. [ AJCN -- Abstracts: Rolls et al. 76 (6): 1207 ]  posted at 1:13 PM by Tom Heston, MD
